What is the slope of the line that passes through the points minus, 1, 1,(−1,1) and minus, 1,, 4,(−1,4) Write your answer in simplest form

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), we can use the formula:

slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Using the points (-1, 1) and (-1, 4), we can plug the values into the formula as follows:

slope = (4 - 1)/(-1 - (-1))
slope = 3/0

We get a zero in the denominator, which means the slope is undefined. Therefore, we cannot write the slope in simplest form.
